BRUNSWICK, Sept. 16.-The Sophomore
Freshmen foot ball rush, which occurred
this afternoon, was one of the most
exciting on record. After a plucky struggle
of over two hours, the ball was seized, car
ried from the field, and concealed by one of
the Freshmen although foul had been de-
clared. Being ordered by the referee to
bring back the ball he reported that he was
unable to find it. The referee reserves his
decision as to the winners, but the game is
generally conceded to the Sophomores.
The rope-pull and base ball games will
take place tomorrow.
